Best Song Lyric


Sweet Leilani
Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower,
Nature fashioned roses kiss’d with dew,
And then she placed them in a bower,
It was the start of you;

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower,
I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower,
Nature fashioned roses kiss’d with dew,
And then she placed them in a bower,
It was the start of you;

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower,
I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower,
Tropic skies are jealous as they shine,
I think they’re jealous of your blue eyes,
Jealous because you’re mine.

Sweet Leilani, Heavenly Flower,
I dreamed of paradise for two.
You are my paradise completed.
You are my dream come true.
